Re: mac restarted again...
Just curious, did you get your reboot problem solved yet? This sounds like an interesting problem. Never had to reset PRAMs yet but wonder.

Re: mac restarted again...
Well, it restarted after I reset the PRam. However, it hasn't restarted since then, so I'm not sure. I'll give it a week or so and then see what happens.

Re: mac restarted again...
Well, if Windows doesn't reboot and still stayed up and useable, one would think it would be a software or setting problem on your Mac side rather than a power supply problem. But I seem to remember that you've checked all your settings and maybe you reinstalled the Mac side too but I don't remember that for sure. The only thing I can think of, short of taking it somewhere, would be to completely reinstall everything - Mac, Windows, etc. and reinstall it all. But I know that's not a welcome suggestion given that one still has to have help to install Windows from a sighted person. Is there anything that you use or have plugged in when using the Mac side that you don't for the Windows side? Of course, it could be something on your logic board; I don't know if that would also affect both sides or not. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: mac restarted again...
I'm about to reset the PRam, so we'll see if that helps. As to your questions, I have not reinstalled anything, and there is nothing different (in hardware) when I run windows. Besides, I have it set to not come on after a power failure, so if it were a power problem it would just shut down and not restart with a problem report. Of course I'd rather not reinstall everything (*shudders*) but if the problem persists I may have to. At least it wouldn't cost me anything.

mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
Hi all, I was at my desk, reading a book on my apex, when I heard my mac give the startup chime. It had restarted, just hours after the last time this happened (sometime around 10:00 this morning, and it's now about 7:30). I have repaired disk permissions, and there were no errors. I have reset my PRam. I have pulled out the power cord for the recommended time. As I said before, when I am in windows this does not happen, which tells me this is probably not a hardware problem with the Mini. If there's anything else I can try, please let me know. Yes, re-installing OSX may have to happen, but I'm hoping for a less drastic solution that does not involve wiping my drive before I resort to that step, especially as I have no one whom I would trust to help with a bootcamp/windows install at the moment. If I did have to reformat, I'd probably forego windows for a while, but I would want it back eventually simply to play audio games. Fusion or Virtualbox may be coming to a mac near me relatively soon... Anyway, thanks for your continued suggestions.

Re: mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
You don't have to delete your windows partition. I restore my quite often and don't have to erase my boot camp partition.

Re: mac restarted again...
Hi, It doesn't seem like a hardware issue to me if you had Windows running without any similar issues. Therefore, I believe that taking it to an Apple Store would be a waste financially. My nearest Apple Store is about a 5 hour drive so its not usually in the cards for us either. It does, then, sound like a software issue. I do suggest, though, for troubleshooting purposes that you install the OS onto an external HD. This problem seems to happen quite often so maybe if you let the Mini run off the external OS all night and check on it in the morning to see if it has restarted. If you leave it logged in when you go to bed, and have it set to not log in automatically, then it will be sitting at the login screen if it restarted itself overnight. Give that a try then we can go from there. Later...

Good to know, that makes this easier. What happens to my user data, such as apps, app settings, music, and everything else in /applications or the ~/ folders?

Re: mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
The only thing is: if you want to do a restore instead of a clean install, even of just the Mac side, you want to be sure that whatever is causing the problem just doesn't get reinstalled or set again. So if it were me, I would lean to erasing the Mac partition and clean installing instead of any kind of restore. Then you can maybe troubleshoot what causes the problem if it starts happening again. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
Good point. Once I get my Carbonite transferred over to the mac I'll feel better about all this. As you both said, a clean install makes the most sense for troubleshooting purposes, so, if it comes to that, I'll do it. Now I'm waiting for ML to download from the app store, and am searching for an 8gb drive of some kind. I wonder, though, Once I make this bootable drive, how do I work it? The articles I've found seem to indicate that one can boot it or install the os from it, and I want to make sure I do the former and not the latter.

As I said before, when I am in windows this does not happen, which tells me this is probably not a hardware problem with the Mini. If there's anything else I can try, please let me know. Yes, re-installing OSX may have to happen, but I'm hoping for a less drastic solution that does not involve wiping my drive before I resort to that step, especially as I have no one whom I would trust to help with a bootcamp/windows install at the moment. If I did have to reformat, I'd probably forego windows for a while, but I would want it back eventually simply to play audio games. Fusion or Virtualbox may be coming to a mac near me relatively soon... Anyway, thanks for your continued suggestions. Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) mehg...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
I just made one with super dooper. It was the easiest for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: mac restarted again, despite all the fixes
I downloaded an app called Lion Disk Maker but have not run it yet as it requires the ML installer and a suitable drive. Is this Super Duper program free or paid?
